HTC's One X+ and Droid
Incredible 4G LTE are both solid Android phones, but neither of them
really did Anything Samsung wasn't already doing at least as well in its Galaxy
series. The Droid DNA, announced
today and available on Verizon beginning November 21st. The device may help HTC
in its battle against arch-rivals Samsung Electronics and Apple
Inc, to which it has heavily lost ground in recent years.
Every major
hardware and software improvement HTC has come up with lately are also thrown
in there, like Beats Audio and dedicated speaker amplifiers, wide-angle front
camera, the ImageChip ISP and latest Sense 4+, plus HTC has wrapped it all up
in a very slim and elegant for this screen size chassis.
With a 5-inch 1920
x 1080 (1080p) Super LCD 3 display, a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2GB of RAM,
LTE, NFC and built-in wireless charging, the Droid DNA's specs match or exceed
its competition in just about every category.
The phone barrels
through the Android churn with the highest density display in the U.S. market,
a HD display that sports 440 ppi (pixels per inch). To put that into
perspective, the iPhone 5 has a pixel density of 326ppi. HTC shoved a S4 Pro
quad-core 1.5Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM into the Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean)
phone. And because it’s HTC, it has Beats Audio for all your jams. For no
reason, it would be a quite amazing device to enjoy HD movies on HTC DNA.
The Droid DNA will
cost $199 to customers who sign a two-year contract and goes on sale November
21, the day before Thanksgiving, the
un-official start of the shopping season. The phone will be exclusive to Verizon
Wireless in the United States. A similar device is being sold in Japan under
the Butterfly brand, HTC said.
